Martina Parnelli

Martina Parnelli is an author, poet and illustrator who creates works using those talents to produce plays, children's books and short stories. She uses a mixed media for her art, incorporating pastels, colored pencils, acrylics and inks to achieve illustrations having both soft features and bold highlights.

Drawing on the wealth of multicultural and multinational influences that enriched her life, she has no preferred genre. Rather, every "work" is an uniquely inspired creative project, a fruit brought to maturity from seed sown earlier in life.

Her interests include anything related to space and astrophysics, botany, and history.
